Insult to injury: How the House snuck protection for GMOs into their farm bill

Apparently it wasn’t quite enough for the House Agriculture Committee to pass a version of the farm bill that made over $16 billion in cuts to food stamps and allowed for an open-ended expansion of crop insurance for Big Ag.

But apparently an unending winning streak isn’t enough for the
biotech industry. They want to make sure that the U.S. Department of
Agriculture approves their new seeds
with minimal study, and loses the ability to withdraw them from the
market should they prove harmful. To top it off, biotech companies want
to ensure that anyone harmed by these seeds will have no recourse for
damages.*
